#1 I wouldn't imagine being buried in the sand like that helped make them anymore flyable. It didn't do nice things to their tanks when they tried that, either.

#2 Burying them only serve the purpose of trying to hide the fact that the French and Russian Govt's violated the 1991 UN arms embargo. The version of the foxbat in this picture is a high altitude reconnisance model ( the third worlds SR-71)

I think the revelation of these pics in public is a warning to the european governments. I think the reason we havent heard anything publically about WMD, is we are working with the Govt's that sold components to Iraq to not only clean up what they sent there but to extort them into not doing it with any other countries. In other words " Help clean it up, tell is whom else you sold it to, stop selling it - OR we go public with what we found in Iraq".

I'm confident at some point in the near future, an acceptible level of "scrubbed" WMD will be found, to make the case, but not to embarrass the european governments who had a hand in creating the problem in the first place.

#3 Per Joe Pesci in the opening scene of "Casino"-
There are holes out in the desert. Make sure you dig the holes first, though, or someone else may come along, and you'll have to whack them... next thing you know you will be out in the desert all night digging f**king holes...

#4 Ha! An obvious 'Murkin deception. Bush sent the planes there and had them photographed as his kaffir soldiers buried them. View the slide show backwards and you will see the truth.
